Li Qing went to the street to buy incense, candles, and paper money...... I went to Qixia Mountain.

Many years in the future, the three small tombs have been crawling with flowers and plants, and even the tombstones have been covered, Li Qing is ashamed......

But, after all, he didn't remove the flowers and plants, because... It's very good-looking, and the three girls must like it.

Li Qing lit incense and candles, burned paper money, and chattered softly......

After so many years, Li Qing is no longer as sad as he was at the beginning, but he feels empty, and he can't tell what it feels like.

The autumn wind was whirling, Li Qing talked about the past, and finally didn't know where to go......

Years have never been pitiful to the hard-working, decades have passed, the three small tombs are full of vicissitudes, and one day, I am afraid that this small tomb will also disappear.

Thankfully...... It will take too long, too long, or perhaps, the years will not take away all traces of them in Li Qing's lifetime.

…

Li Qing didn't come for a long time, and every time he came, he had to stay for a few days, or even longer; This time is no exception, the Mid-Autumn Festival is spent with them, it is very beautiful.

Before leaving, the girls all said that Li Qing had forgotten about them, and Li Qing had also tried, but what ...... Can't do it.

There are always some things that cannot be corroded by time, and the beauty that has passed away has not faded with the passage of time, but has become more and more mellow like fine wine.

Precious......

Of course, Li Qing was not immersed in sentimentality.

I've said it, I've laughed, I've cried...... That's it.

Yongqing Marquis Mansion.

Late autumn is getting farther and farther away, and early winter is coming one after another, and the little girl who hates to marry is panicking.

She is a big girl, she is eighteen years old, nineteen years old, twenty years old, and twenty-one hair, and her eldest brother has not come back to marry her.

She can't sleep well now, she stares in a daze all day long, she feels that she has not been young for a few years, and she is almost old.

Zhu Wanqing is not ashamed, if the eldest brother doesn't come back, she will bother Uncle Li all day long:

"Uncle Li, Uncle Li, you write a letter to your eldest brother, you ask him, what does he want?"

At this point, she is open-minded, and she has completely lost the reserve of her daughter's family.

Zhu Qizhen was still fanning the flames on the side: "Girl, my father said a long time ago that that rabbit cub is not a good thing, now you believe it, right?" ”

The little girl was angry and cried.

Qian, who has always been gentle and virtuous, blushed with her husband for the first time, and said angrily: "With you as a father, your daughter can't get married, so you are so happy?" ”

"Can you blame me for this, it's all ......"

"You still say?"

"Okay, can't I say it if I don't say it?" Zhu Qizhen shut up.

Qian felt sorry for his daughter, and begged: "Sir, you might as well send a letter to the son of the Li family, even if you really have military affairs and can't open the gap, you should explain that it is, so ...... It's really not good. ”

Li Qing got up and said, "Okay, I'll write him a letter and see what's going on." ”

~

Unexpectedly, as soon as the letter was written, Li Hong came back before he could find anyone willing to deliver the letter.

Merely...... The person came to the Hou Mansion vertically, but he went out horizontally, don't ask, asking is Zhu Qizhen angry for his daughter.

Zhu Wanqing was distressed, crying and wanting to move to the Li family to take care of her, but was forcibly stopped by the Qian family.

Zhu Qizhen was even more angry, an old father's heart was pierced and broken.

When Li's father came to propose, the more he thought about it, the more angry Zhu Qizhen became, and he lost his temper and threw all the dowry gifts through the courtyard wall and smashed them......

Father Li was furious: You are an outsider, what do you have to be arrogant?

Zhu Qizhen was even more angry: This is your Li family's attitude towards marrying a daughter-in-law?

The two middle-aged men almost fought.

In the end, Li Qing, who had seen enough excitement and had eaten enough melons, came forward to mediate, so that these two conspicuous bags stopped.

However, after their trouble, they had to recount the auspicious days of the zodiac, so they were delayed.

…

Annex.

Li Qing held the Yongle Ceremony in his hand, brewed a pot of good tea on the table, and leaned on the recliner leisurely.

'Plop! Li Hong jumped over the courtyard wall and said with a smile: "Godfather." ”

Li Qing glanced at him, and his gaze returned to the ceremony, "Didn't you break your leg with a snort, it's only been a few days?" ”

"Oh, I'm a bitter ploy." Li Hong said with a smile, "If I don't do that, I'm afraid that my old Taishan will not be forgiving." ”

"You kid......" Li Qing smiled, "How long will it take to come back this time?" ”

Li Hongdao: "Last year's battle in Liaodong, the tribes were terrified, and they should not dare to make a second time in a short period of time, that ...... The emperor summoned the child. ”

"You told him about marrying Zhu Wanqing?"

"Uh...... Godfather is wise. Li Hong smiled and nodded: "Actually, the emperor also guessed that children can't bully the king, right?" ”

Li Qing thought for a while and said, "It's not a big deal, but you can use this relationship to make your career smoother." ”

After a pause, "The emperor has promoted you to an official, right?" ”

"I really can't hide anything from my godfather, the emperor has raised me to be a guerrilla general." Li Honggan said with a smile and explained, "But godfather, the child does not rely on nepotism, but really makes a contribution......"

"Okay, there's nothing to explain, it doesn't matter if you have a relationship or not," Li Qing waved his hand, "The main thing is ability, as long as the ability keeps up with the official position." ”

Li Hongshen thought so: "What my godfather said is that after the war last year, I had the ability to be a thousand households, well... In recent years, the emperor has promoted me to an official again, and I have to refuse politely;

In the words of my godfather, there is no diamond, no porcelain work. ”

Li Qing nodded with satisfaction, reached out to pick up the teacup on the table, and took a sip, "I haven't answered the question I asked you for a while." ”

"Half a year." Li Hong said: "What does the emperor mean...... After getting married, I was first allowed to experience two years of training in Beijing, and then went to Hetao for two years to develop. ”

Li Qing nodded slowly, and said with a smile: "You are not unlucky, the old man is a bastard, and the eldest brother is quite good." ”

Li Hong's face was sneering: "Godfather, you say so, the child still eats soft rice." ”

"Huh? You can't say that," Li Qingzheng said, "External actions do not avoid hatred, internal actions do not avoid relatives, in the past, your ancestor Cao Laoguo was famous, and no one said that he relied on the identity of Taizu's nephew;

When it comes to your vein, although you have passed five servings, you can't continue the good story! ”

Li Hong nodded lightly: "What my godfather said is that I will not embarrass you, nor will I disgrace my ancestors." ”

"Well, ambitious." Li Qing took a sip of tea with a smile, "But ambition alone can't be done, you have to take practical actions." ”

"That's a must!" Li Hong said with a smile, and then, his smile became bitter, "Godfather, I want to take Sister Wanqing to Jingshi after I get married, can you help me persuade ...... Father-in-law? ”

"Don't persuade," Li Qing said, "That's his daughter, he's more precious than you, as long as that little girl is willing to follow you, he won't stop him." ”ωＷω.ＧoＮЬ.οrＧ

Li Hong sighed: "Actually, sometimes I understand Uncle Zhu quite well, he is just this one girl, Jingshi...... He can't go back, what if I'm ...... There are really only two of them left. ”

"Well, pity the parents of the world, Yu Gong, although he is a bastard, he is private, and others are not bad." Li Qingdao said, "A son-in-law is half a son, and in the future, be kind to him." ”

"Ah, the boy understands." Li Hong nodded.

After a pause, "Godfather, the emperor told me about your business, are you really going to stop asking about political affairs?" ”

"This emperor is the British lord, and he has now gained a firm foothold, with me or not, the difference is not very big." Li Qing smiled, "Besides, I'm not the imperial nanny of the Ming Emperor. ”

"......" Li Hong's face was full of black lines, but he was also used to it, his godfather had always been so unscrupulous when he spoke.

After all...... Someone who even the emperor dares to beat.

Li Hong said: "My father asked people to calculate the days, the sixth day of the first month of winter is the auspicious day of the zodiac, godfather help the child reconcile, the two of them ...... Alas, I can't say Uncle Zhu's identity, my father only thinks he is a soft eater, and he speaks very impulsively. ”

"Okay, wrap it up on me." Li Qing's eyes were happy, and he instructed: "You have become a parent, you are also an adult, and your godfather will not be there in the future, but you have to be fine, ah~"

Li Hong smiled: "In the future, when you are free, the child will often come back to see you." ”

Li Qing shook his head slightly: "You have become a parent, and I have fulfilled my father's responsibility, and I will ...... in the future." You shouldn't be able to find me. ”

"Huh?" Li Hong was stunned for a moment, and said in a lost voice: "Godfather, are you leaving?" ”

"Hmm."

"Where?"

"I don't know," Li Qing looked up at the sky, "Da Ming is so big, there are too many places to go." ”

Li Hong was depressed, "godfather...... Is it okay not to go? ”

Li Qing said quietly: "Do you know? Godfather is a Taoist priest, if it weren't for an accident, he might still be a Taoist priest now;

Alas...... After so many years, I have almost forgotten the identity of a Taoist priest. ”

"Godfather......" Li Hong smiled bitterly: "You are so old, in case there is a good one, how do you let the child deal with himself?" ”

"Godfather is very hard, and he will be fine." Li Qing said with a smile and groaned, "Don't worry, you are still so young, our father and son will always meet again." ”

However, you may not recognize your godfather by then...... Li Qing added another sentence in his heart.

……

The sixth day of the first month of winter.

On this day, Li Hong was dressed in a champion robe, and his god was as rich as jade.

On this day, Zhu Wanqing was crowned with a phoenix, and the country was overwhelmed.

On this day, the two little dolls grew up and tied the knot.

Li Qing drank the tea of the young couple, listened to them call his father, and wrapped a super large red envelope.

He lamented the charm of time, not only plundering, but also giving......

Dinner, no outsiders invited.

In addition to the two families, only Cao Guogong was invited.

During the banquet, Zhu Qizhen and Li's father fought for wine, and Li Qingqi coaxed and persuaded the two to drink, and poured the two of them into a big spit ......

On this night, the fireworks were set off for half the night.

On this night, the Yongqing Marquis Mansion was red.

This night, Li Qing also seemed to be drunk......

After that night, Li Qing disappeared.

They didn't know where he had gone, but they knew that when they woke up the next day, everything was there, but he was missing.

They searched for him for a long time, waited for a long time, but never saw him again......

…

Small Taoist Temple.

In front of the tombstone.

Li Qing wiped the tombstone with his sleeve and said softly, "Master, the disciple is back." ”
